- Enter! I said.
Someone knocked on the windowsill.
The rain.

a wet path -
the lamppost illuminating
itself

drifting clouds -
the only clothing
for the whole sky?

crow
flying from the forest
by heart

This one is my comment for Ogaks, in NOBO mailing list.

this cold night -
still in tune
o wind chime?

warming up
the chilly sky -
smoke from chimneys?

growded parking lot -
no room left for
winter's first snow

windy
autumn day -
a lone crow

I have not seen so many crows. Just sparrows and a some magpies. Our maple tree is quite leafless; ready for wintry storms? I was happy when saw one crow! Now I have spottered three different birds! And two squirrels, And one honest-looking white cat.

Not yet snow here.

city lights -
the sky unclothes
the clouds

hello!
naked maple,
me too!

Not yet any snowshowers.
But it's getting cooler; +3 C today. (+ 37 F) ... trying to engage maple tree in conversation ...

I wonder
are you still alive -
o leafless maple

bright side
of our maple tree
is leafless, too

maple's leaves
falling away -
squirrel's home

o maple tree -
you? but I feel happy
with my white hair

Darkening days -
some more died leaves
hurrying down

This is one variation from the Yellow (= died) leaves.
Autumn is proceeding; continued voyage of yellow leaves...

Died leaves -
what's left
for the long winter?

an unused path
growded with
yellow leaves

1.

November rain
playing with wind chime -
a leaping cat



2.

an untuned
wind chime solo -
flying leaves

The boat going
to cross the seaway -
autumn waves
